As I purchased XTi, I was searching around for a comprehensive list of lenses and reviews.  So far EFLens.COM is the only site that seems to provide it.  I purchased the 28-135mm “short zoom” for starters.  It should work well against the kit lens that comes with the XTi until I decide to purchase something more interesting.

… with the 28-135 IS lens.  I’m not sure that’s going to be the best lens for me, but it’s a good starter compared to the Sigma lens I was using on my Digital Rebel.  I’ve seen photos shot with that lens, but my biggest concern is the speed.  I wonder if I’ll be switching the IS on and off a lot.  We’ll see what happens.
